1. As a deer longs for streams of water,so I long for You, God.
2. I thirst for God, the living God.When can I come and appear before God?
3. My tears have been my food day and night,while all day long people say to me,“Where is your God? ”
4. I remember this as I pour out my heart: how I walked with many,leading the festive procession to the house of God,with joyful and thankful shouts.
5. Why am I so depressed?Why this turmoil within me?Put your hope in God, for I will still praise Him,my Savior and my God.
6. I am deeply depressed;therefore I remember You from the land of Jordanand the peaks of Hermon, from Mount Mizar.
7. Deep calls to deep in the roar of Your waterfalls;all Your breakers and Your billows have swept over me.
8. The Lord will send His faithful love by day; His song will be with me in the night —a prayer to the God of my life.
9. I will say to God, my rock, “Why have You forgotten me?Why must I go about in sorrowbecause of the enemy’s oppression? ”
10. My adversaries taunt me,as if crushing my bones,while all day long they say to me,“Where is your God? ”
11. Why am I so depressed?Why this turmoil within me?Put your hope in God, for I will still praise Him,my Savior and my God.
